Nice write up in NYT including some connections to our work on understanding mood tracking: mental.jmir.org/2021/8/e2936… @jmirpub w/ @daepstein @jocelynclai
In Opinion
“There is a great deal of disagreement on how even to measure happiness and fairly weak evidence that doing so makes us significantly happier,” Jessica Grose writes. “Less considered is the question: Could tracking happiness make us feel worse?”nyti.ms/4fDCsvR
Starting July 1st, I'll be an Associate Professor with Tenure! Looking forward to continuing to UCI and my broader research community for many more years to come.
Many thanks to @ProfJayFo and @smunson for helping me develop as a researcher. I've been lucky to have a great peer network including @sweetflute, @MaybeRaviKarkar, @klukoff, @aarontram, Stacy Branham, @dude_crooks, Joshua Garcia, @iftekhar_ahmedi, and Theresa Tanenbaum.
I'm not sure how my career will change now that I have tenure, but I look forward to spending more time with @elena_agapie and Ansel. Elena, I appreciate your support in all aspects of life, and look forward to more adventures together as a family.
Congratulations @Luke_ms on passing his dissertation defense! Great job contributing understanding of how multi-device tracking can better support individuals and families. @gillianrhayes and I are excited to keep following your work, @UIowaCS is lucky to have you!
I defended my PhD! It has been a challenging but fulfilling journey and I am super grateful to my huge support network, including my advisors, committee, labs, and family. Also happy to announce I am joining @uiowa as an assistant professor in the CS dpt!
Yay @Xi_Lu_HCI, she passed her dissertation defense! Great work contributing synthesis of personal, collaborative, and sociocultural components of tracking ecosystems. My first advisee to defend, I'm a proud advisor! Looking forward to following your work as faculty at @UBuffalo.
P.H.Done (almost 🥰) I just passed my defense today! Words cannot express how grateful I am for all the support I've got from my dear advisor, committee members, collaborators, lab mates, friends, and family! So excited to announce that I will be an assistant professor @UBuffalo
A group of us are looking into the possibility of a SIGCHI-sponsored HCI+Health conference. If you're working at the intersection of HCI and Health, we would appreciate your feedback on format, interest in participating, and willingness to volunteer!

Have you experienced fraudulence while conducting an HCI study? You are not alone! Consider submitting a case study to our @acm_chi #chi2024 workshop to discuss experiences, define fraud, brainstorm strategies on research integrity, and build community. bit.ly/frdhci

🎉Excited to share my first paper in JMIR Mental Health! 🎉We dived into user perspectives on whether and how commercial teletherapy apps abide by ethical principles. Big shoutout to @steveschueller, @daepstein, and Whitney Kouaho for the awesome collaboration!

Hi everyone. I am leading a research project at UC Irvine advised by @daepstein where we're trying to learn how to best support people in making custom watch faces. In this study we will hold one interview lasting 90-120 minutes total where we will have a short drawing activity.
Congratulations to @ekjo15 for advancing to candidacy today! She did a great job bringing together important work around how infrastructures influence technology use around mental health and well-being.
I advanced to candidacy! Now I’m officially a PhD candidate 😎 Thanks to the committee members @steveschueller and Yunan chen, and my advisor @daepstein who supported me along the way. And thanks everyone for coming in person and zooming in 🙏

I won't be at #CHI2023 this year, we have a new baby! Ansel is two months old.
Sad to miss @WISH_comm, we have a great program. @aislingannokane and @andrewmiller have been fantastic co-organizers sites.uci.edu/wish2023/
Collaborators are also presenting three excellent papers:
This Watchface Fits with my Tattoos: Investigating Customisation Needs and Preferences in Personal Tracking, a great excuse to collaborate with @rubahfgouveia again to understand the diversity of watchfaces people use. depstein.net/assets/pubs/rgo…
Say hi to my students and collaborators if you see them. Can't wait to bring Ansel to Honolulu for #CHI2024!
